Directors quit at billionaire Judith Neilson’s journalism institute

“Journalism doesn’t just need critics, it needs champions – people and institutions with the resources to help educate, encourage and connect journalists and their audience in pursuit of excellence,” Neilson said at the time. “Through targeted funding and education, we can strengthen Australian journalism and help restore faith in its central role in a healthy democracy.”

This masthead has used funding from the institute for projects and hiring journalists.

Based in a large complex in Chippendale, the institute has so far funded investigative journalism projects, international assignments, the creation of international bureaus and invested in the recruitment of First Nations journalists. But a source who worked in philanthropic circles said eyebrows were recently raised about the cost of the institute’s Chippendale headquarters, and the number of staff employed compared to its spending on journalism grants.

What the institute is planning to become is not decided, but sources said it will still support journalism.
